BEST VINYL ALBUM COVERS OF ALL TIME

It’s really exciting wh en we look at wh ere we were about a year and a half ago. I was talking with my team about it yesterday. There was a time when we first formed that we did a support slot and some nights we were singing to seven people. Other times we were singing to 20. And now, in just a year, we’re selling out dates on our headline tours. It’s really exciting and important for us to be able to make that connection with the fans and we’re glad that that seems to be happening and it’s wonderful.

Tell me more about your new single, Kiss You Now…

We’re definitely not one of those bands that has to write all of our own stuff. Obviously it’s really important to connect with the songs even if we don’t. Jeff Cohen, who I co-wrote most of the album with and who also produced several of the songs on the album, sent me the song called Kiss You Now. As soon as I heard it I was like ‘we’ve gotta do this one. We’ve gotta turn it into a Jess and the Bandits song’ and I’m so glad he sent it to me. We recorded it in January and now here we are in March and it’s out there and its part of the deluxe edition of the new album. It’s such a fun song ’cause I love that sassy attitude, where the girls aren’t gonna wait on the guy. So whatever, I’m gonna kiss you then. And I like that!
